A vegetarian "what I eat in a day" video from London. For breakfast they ate a Tesco blueberry muffin. Lunch was Chipotle vegetarian hard-shell tacos with fajita vegetables, tomato and corn salsas, sour cream and, as they say, lots of cheese. Dinner was a vegetarian sushi box they put together at a sushi class: cucumber maki, vegetable maki, maki topped with avocado and sweetcorn, inari pouches and a few edamame pods.

Meal by meal
Breakfast: Tesco blueberry muffin
Bad 420 kcalBreakfast is a big crumb-topped blueberry muffin from Tesco, straight out of the bakery wrapper.
Basically cake: lots of added sugar, refined flour, hardly any protein.
“The blueberries are doing a lot of PR work for this cake.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tesco blueberry muffin (crumb-topped)1 large muffin · 110 g
Why this estimateThey name it as from Tesco. It is palm-sized with a crumb topping in a bakery wrapper, so I sized it as a large in-store bakery muffin of about 110 g rather than a smaller multipack one. |

Lunch: Chipotle veggie hard-shell tacos
Mixed 575 kcalLunch is Chipotle crispy corn tacos with fajita veggies, tomato and corn salsas, sour cream, and lots of cheese.
Great veggies and salsa, but the cheese and sour cream pile on saturated fat.
“Ordering extra cheese is the most honest thing anyone's done at Chipotle.”

Chipotle vegetarian hard-shell tacos3 crispy corn tacos with fajita vegetables, tomato salsa, corn salsa, sour cream and extra cheese · 350 g
Why this estimate3 crispy corn shells (about 210 kcal), fajita onions and peppers (about 70 g), fresh tomato salsa (about 70 g), corn salsa (about 70 g), sour cream (about 55 g) and shredded cheese at about 1.5 servings (about 42 g), since they say they added lots. I saw no beans, rice or protein go in. |

Dinner: homemade veggie sushi box
Good 605 kcalDinner is a vegetarian sushi box made at a sushi class: cucumber and veggie maki, avocado and sweetcorn rolls, inari pouches and edamame.
Veggies, avocado and edamame bring fibre and healthy fats, just with plenty of white rice.
“Nothing tastes better than sushi you rolled yourself, wobbly bits included.”

Cucumber maki (hosomaki)about 6 small pieces · 110 g
Why this estimateSeasoned sushi rice, nori and cucumber, made by them at the sushi class. The piece they eat on camera is one of these. |

Vegetable maki (red pepper, tofu or mushroom, greens)about 3 pieces, 3–4 cm · 90 g

Maki topped with avocado and sweetcornabout 2 pieces · 70 g

Inari sushi (fried tofu pouch with rice)2 pouches · 80 g
Why this estimateSweet fried tofu skins filled with sushi rice, with a strip of red pepper on top. |
